the crowd at the opening..that is Mary Black second from left
Me in front of Landing 13 , 24"X24" on my left.
My six paintings right when you walk in the gallery, all in the Landing series.
So we had a fabulous opening at Working With Wax last night. Lots of people and talking. Thomas Morphis the curator put together an amazing show. Thomas selected artists that all have a sensibilitiy of gorgeous surface, intuitive composition and either lush color or quiet monochrome. Of course being at the opening it is hard to actually look at the art, talking to everyone, chatting about my work. But I did get to take a few minutes in front of Eleanor wood's work. She combines watercolor, wax, pastels, oil stick, thread, etc on paper. Very compelling.. And Julie Nelson also minimal color but very beautiful and funny... the website has a slide show to see all the work. But these have to been seen in person to really get the full effect.
The artists are:
Tracey Adams, Mary Black, Emily Clawson, Robin Denevan, Eileen P. Goldenberg, Howard Hersh, Lisa Kairos, Julie Nelson, Mark Perlman, Carrie Ann Plank, and Eleanor Wood

Shows, classes, conferences...
This piece was juried into the 25th Annual Juried Show at Gallery Route 1. The juror was Kenneth Baker, the art critic for the San Francisco Chronicle. I wan't be able to make it to the opening, Sunday Jan 17, 4-6, because I have a full Intro to Encaustic Workshop in my studio.
I just registered for the National Encaustic Conference at Monterrst College of Art, Beverly MA, for June 11,12,13,14, 2010. Conceived and put together by Joanne Mattera, author of The Art of Encaustic
Painting. I will be on the panel Sat morning and presenting Teaching for the Teachers on Monday, June 14, post conference. I have been to all of the conferences and I have a great time every year. Over 300 artists converge on this college town and the buzz on on!
